Yes, I know what a repel does. And you would know what it does too if you google it. But I will explain it anyways.

Repels stop pokemon from encountering in the wild. But there is a catch, the pokemon leading in your party needs to have a higher level than the ones found in wild. For example, you find the grass in Cragonos Cliffs is annoying and gets in the way cause of constant encounters. So you decide to use repels. '''The pokemon found on Cragonos Cliffs are at lv. 21-24, so you need to have a lv. 25 lead pokemon or higher so that there won't be any pokemon encounters in the grass'''. However, if you lead with a '''lv. 23 or lower, then you will still encounter pokemon in the grass even when a Repel is active. '''

Which brings me to why I brought up the whole concept of using Repels in catching roamings. '''Roaming poke's are all lv. 40 by default and they are encounterable anywhere. So, if the theory of how Repels work hold and if you lead with a lv. 39 pokemon and use repels, then the only pokemon that are allowed to appear are the roaming pokemon'''. Any higher that 39 or 40, then no pokemon won't appear. In fact, this was the strategy, I and all experienced players used in the original games to catch roaming pokemon. That is why I was asking if it also holds in this game.

Hope that answers your question (●'◡'●)ﾉ
